Trump Unleashes on ‘Enemy Within’ at Fox News Townhall: ‘They’re Marxists, and Communists, and Fascists’
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump doubled down on his denunciation of “the enemy within” at a townhall hosted by Fox News on Wednesday, deriding his political enemies as “Marxists, and communists, and fascists.”
In an interview with Maria Bartiromo over the weekend, Trump said he thought “the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics,” and even floated the idea of using the National Guard or military to quell said enemy after the 2024 election.
After playing clips from that interview on Wednesday, Fox News’ Harris Faulkner made note of Vice President Kamala Harris’s criticism of his rhetoric as “unhinged” before asking Trump to respond.
“I thought it was a nice presentation. I wasn’t, I wasn’t unhinged. You know what they are? They’re a party of soundbites. They’re-, somebody asked me, ‘Can they be brought together?’ You know, it was very-, I never thought, really I wasn’t thinking like they could because they are, they’re very different. And it is the enemy from within, and they’re very dangerous,” began Trump.
He continued:
They’re Marxists, and communists, and fascists, and they’re sick. I use a guy like Adam Schiff because they made up the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax. It took two years to solve the problem, absolutely nothing was done wrong, etc., etc.. They’re dangerous for our country. We have China, we have Russia, we have all these countries. If you have a smart president, they can all be handled. The more difficult are the, you know, the Pelosis, these people. They’re so sick and they’re so evil. If they would spend their time trying to make America great again, we would have, it would be so easy to make this country great. But I heard about that, They were saying I was like threatening. I’m not threatening anybody. They’re the ones doing the threatening. They do phony investigations. I’ve been investigated more than Alphonse Capone.
“They’re the threat to democracy,” exclaimed Trump to cheers as Faulkner tried to regain the floor.
“I’m glad I got that out,” he concluded.
